Knight
of the Burning Pestle

“Family comedy gets a turn on Marin
stages this summer, and kids of all ages are enjoying
the fun. Colorful clowns set the pace, even serious
actors get clownish and audience members participate
in sing-alongs and are brought onstage as performers….It
must have worked [in the 17th century.] And it still
works in the 21st.”
Lee Brady, Pacific Sun

“…creativity and true originality…”
Olga Azar, Marin Scope

“The Knight’s cast is a complete comic delight. Each tries
to out camp the other with exaggerated movements,
pratfalls, groaners and great zingers relating to
today. Darren Bridgett is a delight to watch. His
ambidexterity is amazing. His confusion in the play
is positively brilliant. He has the best and most
funny death scene that I have seen in ages. George
Maguire matches Bridgett’s comic ability….A very
close third is Jarion Monroe, dressed in an outlandish
balloon clown outfit singing with great vocal chops.
He brings down the house every time he appears on
the stage….Robert Currier brilliantly directs this
super outrageous parody of the Don Quixote legend
mixed a little with many of the Bard’s romantic plays.
He has assembled a top flight cast of comedy actors
to make this one side-splitting merrymaking evening.”
Richard Connema, Talkin’ Broadway

“…pure silly fun…”
David Kashima, Bay Area Critics Circle

“Robert Currier…is at his best with this kind of
outrageous silliness.” Annette Lust, West of Twin
Peaks Observer
